    Chrome_BITS_nnnn_nnnnnnnnn


    I have a standalone installation of Google Chrome which was installed when I performed a Clean Install about three years ago.

    I have just started getting chrome_BITS_nnnn_nnnnnnnnn folders [ where 'n' are numbers ] which each contain a single .puff file in the Root of Program Files.

    After investigation, I deleted a few the other day without consequence. I have also checked the files within the folders using VirusTotal and they are clean.

    I have made NO changes to the system that could be associated to this starting to happen other than migrating my OS from a HDD to a SSD. Unfortunately, I do NOT know if this started BEFORE or AFTER [ before I think ] the migration or indeed if it has anything to do with this !

    If anyone else has been experiencing this or know why the folders are being created or how to stop them, I would be grateful ?

    The folders are just leftovers from Chrome updates and can be safely deleted.

    Hope this helps...

    I do wonder why this has just started happening though !

    Out of interest, what settings do you have for Services for Google Update Service (gupdate) and Google Update Service (gupdatem) please ?

    Thanks.

    I've just spotted an anomaly. I have exactly the same version and bitness of Google Chrome as you:

    Chrome_BITS_nnnn_nnnnnnnnn-about_google_chrome.png

    I cannot find any trace of chrome_BITS_nnnn_nnnnnnnnn folders within the root of Program Files... and the Chrome program folder is within Program Files (x86), even though it's a 64-bit install.

    That was by design. Older versions of 64 bit Chrome installed to (x86) so if you've never clean installed it (going back a few years) I guess that updates still use the old location.

    Note: Personally I have not used Chrome in years. However I have read about the 64 bit version installing to X86 a few times.

    Ahh, thanks for that info, @Callender. I wasn't aware (and only have Chrome installed as a backup, just in case).
